We are very proud to announce that we are now supported by TV presenter and naturalist Chris Packham. This is a fantastic opportunity for us and a very big compliment. With Chris' endorsement, we hope to reach a wider audience and tell more wildlife enthusiasts about who we are and what we do.

One of our new designs is the lesser spotted woodpecker Dendrocopos minor. I'm sure some of you are not very familiar with this bird and that is one the main reasons we have chosen it for our new designs. To raise awareness and funds for it's much needed conservation.

As part of the launch of our three new designs on 8th April, we are also launching a photographic competition to raise awareness of these three declining British wildlife species - hedgehog, red squirrel and lesser spotted woodpecker..........

It's official, our new products will be launching on our website on Friday 8th April. You will be able to purchase mugs, tea towels, aprons, prints, notebooks, postcards and greeting cards with our new designs on - hedgehog, red squirrel and lesser spotted woodpecker.

Today we launch our very first crowdfunding scheme to help us raise funds to launch our new designs - hedgehog, red squirrel and lesser spotted woodpecker. We have not released these designs yet but today we would like to share them with you. We hope you like them as much as we do.

Today, a large wood pigeon flew into my patio window. I heard the bang from upstairs as I thought it was the postman knocking on the door. I went down to investigate, and found the poor bird sitting in a pile on the patio.

However, hours later and it was still sitting there with its features puffed up and its eyes closed. What was I to do?

This month Creature Candy turns 1 year old. I can hardly believe how fast this time has gone, but one thing I know for sure is that launching Creature Candy was the best decision I have ever made. I have enjoyed every second and it has been wonderful passing over our donations to the Bat Conservation Trust, Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Butterfly Conservation.

This week we have been able to donate £207.49 to the Bat Conservation Trust, bringing our total for the year to £357.26 for this charity. This money will contribute towards the National Bat Helpline - a national service answering questions from householders, professionals and other people interested in, or concerned about bats.

We all know that many of our bird species have declined over recent years, but there are some seemingly common species that you may be surprised to learn are actually in decline. Take a look at the list below and see how many you didn't know about.

Today I was asked if a bat was a mammal. This wasn't a child asking, it was an adult. As someone who is passionate about wildlife and conservation, this sort of question always comes as a very big surprise to me and I'm sure many of you will feel the same......
